"An SEO" or "a SEO"? Which indefinite article is the right one?

"An SEO" or "a SEO"?



  Sometimes we are all getting into SEO problems or into grammar problems. But can you imagine that there is an interesting, unique problem, involving them both (the SEO and the grammar). It is the problem

which one is the right one -- "a SEO" or "an SEO"?

Yes, it's a problem, which is interesting and unique, as far as it involves the Search Engine Optimization (SEO is the abbreviation) and the grammar (English language's grammar), but it's not a difficult question at all.
 

The answer:


  According to the pronunciation of the abbreviation "SEO", the correct indefinite article is "an". Why do I think so? That's why:
Quote
The form an is used before words that begin with a vowel sound (even if spelled with an initial consonant, as in an hour), and a before words that begin with a consonant sound (even if spelled with a vowel, as in a European).

 Very good, indeed. Exactly what I wanted to have here about this important SEO and grammar related problem/question. You're right that it is not difficult to sort out. The pronunciation of SEO (ess-ee-oh) is the key. But, right now I am thinking about it: in case that someone prefer to say it s-ee-oh, then it should be a SEO.
 And, at the end of this post, let's compare the Google's results now:

1. "A SEO"

Quote
About 9,390,000 results (0.15 seconds)

2. "An SEO"
http://www.google.com.hk/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=strict&tbo=d&q=%22An+SEO%22&btnG=Search
Quote
About 6,330,000 results (0.18 seconds)
The number proves nothing. I just wanted to compare it.
 Question answered.
